“Arom?” Giovanni asked his son Elijah who nodded at him with irritation. “Yes, he had been asking for a meeting for the last few days. I kept denying him but today he came here unannounced,” Elijah informed his father who sighed in annoyance. He placed the whiskey glass on the table and nodded. The conversation cum argument he had with Giampaolo in the afternoon sat heavy in his mind and he decided to have a drink to ease the sudden tension that the old man gave him. But easing tension was not in his destiny today, it seemed like that. Or why would Arom Gelati come here without any warning? The greedy son of a bitch, God knows what he would ask from him in exchange for the divorce of his daughter from Elijah.They needed Victoria for a few more days, at least until the election and custody case of Liam. She was needed to complete their family image. After the election, Elijah would leave Victoria and get married to Helena.But it was not as easy as it seemed. There were many hurdle
“Death!” Giovanni whispered and nodded. “There is another thing we need to talk about, Arom,” Giovanni said after a minute of consideration. He needed Arom’s help, so his idea of pushing him away was not possible anymore. But again, he couldn't see his son unhappy. Helena was not returning to his life, he wouldn't allow it. But he was not letting Victoria in his life either. “What is it?” Arom asked.“I want Victoria and Elijah’s divorce,” Giovanni answered and Arom frowned at his words. Does he know about Rita and Victoria's plan? Arom clenched his jaw tightly as Giovanni stared at him intently.“Why?” he asked. “Victoria loves Elijah. They are perfect for each other. They love each other. Why do you want them to get divorce?”Giovanni shook his head. “No, they are not happy together. I do not know about your daughter, Arom but I am not letting my son suffer because of Victoria. I have decided that after the election and this custody battle with Evan, Victoria and Elijah are gett
“Is there anything left now!” Antonio snapped at Evan. “I asked you to send that girl back to her brother but you didn't listen to me. Evan! Now see what she has gotten you into. Your relationship with Helena is on the line. She jeopardised Liam's safety but you didn't listen to me!” Evan's nose flared. “She is naive, Antonio. She doesn't know her mistake will create this big of a blunder. And I do not want to talk about it right now. My mind is already heavy with so many things. So give me a break!” He pressed his temples. Antonio's eyes turned cold. “Break, you want to break, EVAN!” Antonio snarled at his godson. “You are not getting any break from me. Today you have to listen to what I am saying,” he let out a deep, heavy breath giving Evan a reality check. “This girl Vienna, she is not sane. Ever since she came here she is creating problems for you and Helena. I do not understand Evan, are you really blind or you do not want to see her true intentions?” He yelled. Evans' eyes
Antonio stared at Richard, dumbfounded, so his theory was wrong that she liked Evan. While Evan's eyebrows wrinkled in shock. “Vienna is your what?” Evan demanded as He pinned him with a dangerous glare. “Girlfriend, Capo. She is my girlfriend.”Evan moved and got into his face. He grabbed Richard's collar, “Do you know what you are saying, Richard? She is Vienna D’Angelo. Viso D’Angelo’s sister!”Richard nodded with a confident gaze. “Yes and she loves me.” He let out. “And her position as Viso's sister doesn't matter to me. For me she is my girlfriend, the woman I love.”“Dammit! Richard. Her brother is MAD! He called me to inquire about the man in his sister's life. Do you know what it meant? He is planning to test Vienna's lover. And you very well know how VISO D'ANGELO TEST SOMEONE!” Evan barked, leaving him with a jerk.Richard’s foot stumbled a bit, but he straightened his posture. “I know and I am not scared of his test, Capo. What matters to me is Vienna's happiness.”Anton
Liam had his arms crossed and head down as his mother asked about his meeting with Elijah. So Evan lied to him. He had told his mother everything about the meeting. Liar! Liam thought angrily. I hate him. “You know I love you, Liam. I am more hurt not because you met him But because you hid this big thing from me,” Helena uncrossed his hands from his chest and held them between her palms. She knew her son crosses hands when he is stubborn or angry. And right now he was both. “Look at me, Liam and tell me what are you angry about? Why did you not tell me about this meeting?” she asked, raising his chin with her forefinger to make him look at her. Liam opened his mouth then closed it again. Helena could see her son's reluctance to share his feelings with her. She took it as a failure of her motherhood. She had always been proud of the fact that even though she couldn't give her son a family life, She still gave him a healthy childhood where he can share anything with her
“Wear something black. It looks good on you. Just like the dark Queen of my world,” Evan said as He came to stand behind her in front of the mirror. Helena's heart picked up speed when He pulled her barely clothed body into hisafter she took a shower. “Everyone there must remember that you represent Evan Conan Hemsworth,” his masculine breathy voice sent her heart on a marathon of emotions. Helena looked into his eyes and the intensity in his gaze brought a shrill of excitement to her soul. Evan smirked seeing her laboured breathing. He softly held her shoulders and messaged them with his thumbs. “Tonight is very special for us, Helena. Political Royalty. I want to snatch this tag from the Rossis. In a few weeks, their status in society will shift from political Royalty to beggars striving for food on roads.” Helena could only stare into his dark blue gaze which turned intimidating with every word from his mouth. “Is it necessary for Liam to come with us? The media is there, El
The St Louis auditorium hosted the intense debate between Antonio and Giovanni, with Lombardy's future hanging in the balance. The audience included Lombardy's Elites. Businessmen, Social workers and the few citizens of Lombardy who were going to decide the future of Giovanni and Antonio. Evan, Helena and Liam were sitting in the front row.The camera kept zooming on Liam every now and then, his face flashed on the huge screen behind. People were cheering and clapping loudly in excitement for the debate. Giovanni’s family, his wife, father-in-law were sitting also in the front row to his side opposite Antonio's family. Elijah and his wife Victoria along with her parents came in support for Giovanni. Elijah’s eyes went to Helena’s beautiful face, his love for Helena was turning into an obsession with every passing second. He hates seeing Helena and his son sitting beside his enemy. His eyes went to his son and he passed him a smile. Liam's eyes turned hard and he gave him a n
Evan’s jaw clenched tightly seeing Victoria’s hardly covered body. “What is the meaning of this?” He snapped. “Cover yourself!” Victoria smiled and walked to him swaying her hips. “Evan. I am done with your coldness. Let's be honest with each other now, can we.” She closed the door behind him before holding her arm with one hand and touching his chest with another. Her gaze turned soft and fluttering. “I know you are acting insensible towards me. How could you be interested in Her and not me, Evan? I am more beautiful than her, more successful than her in career. But my luck in love is not as good as her.” Evan's eyes constricted seeing her madness and when she touched his chest with her snakey hands, He fisted his hands. “Evan, ever since I saw your protectiveness towards her, you won my heart too. It only thudded for you, it loved you. I deserve a man like you, not the abusive man I am married to!” “Mrs Rossi. I am an engaged man and I love my fiancèe. So get your hands off m
